Kona Reef F26, Kailua-Kona Big Island

What an awesome treat!!

What an awesome way to start our multi location stay on the Big Island. The location could not be more perfect and the unit was so well provisioned and maintained. The sound of the ocean at night was all we needed to sleep but the... more unit does also have air conditioning and fans for those hot days or nights. A short walk to the "strip" - close enough to walk and just far enough to get away for the evening bustle. The bed and bedding was outstanding, and again - the unit was not only super clean but very fresh (so many times the pictures are old and the unit is tired, this actually shows even better than the pictures. There is a new upscale stackable washer dryer and awesome beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels and even an ice chest! The rest of the 5 stars are in the little details including the fully equipped kitchen that even had a coffee grinder, and things you need but might not have like soap pods for the dish washer or clothes washer and even dryer sheets. It was also so nice to have an elevator since it is on the third floor and my knee is recovering from a procedure and it was a major luxury throughout the property. I would recommend this unit for the serenity, value and care to anyone and this will be a go to when we return hands down. We felt so welcome. Thank you for the care and Aloha you shared, it was appreciated. less

Kona Reef F26

Excellent location, very nice view. Owner was very accommodating, unit was clean. Would definitely stay here again.

— Stephen, Stayed 02/09/2022

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo overlooking the ocean. Daily surfers and para sailors made for great entertainment. The condo is sparkling clean and well equipped. The owners are very responsive. The location, an easy walk to town, is perfect!

— Regina, Stayed 02/06/2022

Wonderful stay

We were here almost 4 weeks and enjoyed the entire time. The condo itself is lovely, great views, very comfortable and has everything you need. The location couldn't be better, easy walking distance from town, shops and restaurants but far enough away to be quiet... more and allow you to hear the ocean waves. Last but not least, the owner is very reachable and could not have been more accommodating and friendly. less

Kona Reef F-26

We enjoyed our stay at the Kona Reef, F-26 condo. Sunset views from the lanai were out of this world, and the sound of the surf was relaxing. Condo was very clean, well supplied kitchen, comfortable bed. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

— Ann, Stayed 12/15/2021

Great Locations and Ocean view

Condo is located close to ocean and other amenities including restaurants. all in walking distance. Condo was clean and had all necessities. In short, I would rent again if I were to visit Kona.

— Nick, Stayed 10/25/2021

great stay at this condo

This is a great place to stay. Wayne the new owner was a delight to work with. My booking occurred in the middle of closing process of this property in which Wayne became the new owner. Due to this situation, there was some confusion and... more challenges as my wife and I settled into this condo. Wane went out of his way to make sure any issues that came up during this transition were addressed immediately. This condo has an amazing view of the ocean and has nice resort resources to make your stay pleasurable. Condo is located close to downtown condo and is walkable. I would highly recommend any future travelers to rent this condo as I plan on being a repeat customer next year. less

Comfortable Condo in a Great Location

This well-located, 3rd floor corner unit is a warm & welcoming space with a very impressive ocean view. Pictures simply do not do it justice. The 3rd floor location offers a better view and more privacy than the vast majority of the other units in... more the Kona Reef complex. The condo is comfortably furnished and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. The owners provided a comprehensive set of brochures with very helpful information on activities and attractions on the Island. Having an in-unit washer and dryer also offered a much needed convenience, not always available at other condo properties we have stayed at on Hawaii vacations. The location offers easy access (less than a mile) to the main Ali’i Drive strip of popular restaurants and shops. Yet it’s far enough from the busy stretch of the strip to allow for a very relaxing relaxing feel. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking to vacation in the Kona area. less

— Justin O., Stayed 09/14/2021

Excellent Accommodations

We have a family of four, and our two night stay at your condo was perfect. Plenty of space of two adults and two teenaged children and an amazing view of the ocean from the balcony. We also appreciated the kitchen and supplies for making... more home cooked meal. Also, the pool was clean and the hot tub was hot! Thanks less

— Billy, Stayed 08/24/2021

Awesome condo F-26

Our family has really enjoyed the condo F-26 at Kona Reef Condos during our stay at Kona. The condo has a very amazing view of the ocean, with very a nice big balcony. You will be on the top most floor, so the view is... more gorgeous --- It is cleaned, organized, and well prepared. It also has water sports equipment for families which is so good because we did not have to rent the gear. The location is excellent with walking distances to everywhere, it is a very nice beach town, also there is a Costco and a Walmart which are about 15 minutes driving from it. You do need a car from our experience, but the resort provides plenty free parking spaces. The owner takes very excellent care of the condo, and we definitely come back to the place, or/and will refer friends to stay there if they visit Kona. less

— Andrea, Stayed 08/15/2021

Great Stay at Kona Reef Condo F-26

We had a wonderful stay at Kona Reef Condo F-26. The unit was in a great location, close to shops and restaurants, with incredible views. We loved drinking our morning coffee and watching the surfers. The kitchen was stocked well for those who enjoy cooking,... more the bed was comfortable, and the sunsets...priceless. The pool and hot tub were great for relaxing after a busy day exploring the island. less

— Rosie, Stayed 05/20/2021

Great Time and Great Location

This condo was just as described. The condo itself is a little dated but had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and was clean which is most important. The lanai was close enough to the water to hear the waves but not directly on... more the water. Seeing whales or dolphins was a struggle from the lanai but the beach was just a few steps away. We did enjoy having drinks on the lanai and watching the surfers right in front of our complex. The condo complex was well maintained and enjoyable. Staying as a guest was comfortable and welcoming. The pool was warm, relaxing and was never crowded. The grills were great for barbequing our meals. There are owners that live here and take pride in the complex. Everyone cares and it shows. It really was a great location. Within walking distance to shopping and restaurants but not right in the middle of town with all the tourists. Look forward to staying here again. less

F 26

Well equipt, clean, easy walk to shops and resturants, great ocean view!

— l, Stayed 05/01/2021

Great Unit

We had a wonderful time in this condo and would definitely stay here again. It was quiet, yet you could hear the waves at night. It had everything one would need. We enjoyed the nice breeze, especially since it is an end unit. We will... more be back! less

— Heather, Stayed 03/23/2021

Fantastic Condo!

Very nice stay. Will come back with the Grand kids.

— David, Stayed 07/24/2020

My Stay in F-26 in Kona Reef Condo

My stay was very enjoyable. The unit was clean and all necessities were provided. Appliances were in good working order. The instructions provided made it easy to access the the unit. The view was terrific and the lanai was a nice touch. I would recommend... more this unit to future guests. less

— James , Stayed 03/22/2020

A

This condo is very comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only drawback is the noise factor. Being an end unit, the traffic noise in the evening and into the night from Ali'i Drive is amplified. It is a small inconvenience... more that we adapted to pretty quickly. less

— David, Stayed 03/07/2020

Would stay again

This is the second time at these condos. Different unit, but same condo. Great location to restaurants etc in Kona. Walking or bike distance. Amazing views. Clean, beautiful pool and facilities. Quiet and respectful. Wish I could come for longer!

— Allison, Stayed 01/29/2020

Great Place and Location

My cousin and I enjoyed our stay at the Condo. We arrived late and the office was closed so we wern't able to get our vehicle registered and was afraid of getting towed. I contacted Vance and got a prompt response and the parking situation... more was all figured out. The condo its self was everything that was advertised and more! Great location, clean, and had the perfect view of the pool and beach. less

— Rosette , Stayed 01/24/2020

Kona Reef - F26

Nice, clean unit. Well stocked with everything you would need for a short or long stay. Nice views of pool area and ocean. Owner is very responsive and provided excellent communication regarding check-in and check-out.

— Connelly, Stayed 01/20/2020

Terrific Condo

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at Kona Reef, Condo F-26 for a week. The unit is clean, comfortable, updated and the building is terrific. The location is perfect, walking distance to Kona shops and restaurants and a quick drive to great... more swimmable beaches. We enjoyed the pool and being right on the beach. Having snorkel gear, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas was a huge plus. We will definitely be back. less

— Daniel, Stayed 01/03/2020

Nice, well managed condo

This condo was a great value, with good location and real nice 3rd story view of ocean. Condo managers were very professional, they even checked to make sure that we arrived safely.

— Jamie, Stayed 12/13/2019

F26

F26 is our favorite condo at Kona Reef. We want to thank you for your prompt response and taking care of the few issues we had. We will definitely stay at your condo again. Our only request is new pillows By the way what did... more your wife think of the size of the new table? Hope to visit next year. less

— Nicki, Stayed 12/11/2019

Kona Reef F-26 was ideal

We truly enjoyed our stay at Kona Reef F-26. The condo has a welcome to Hawaii feel. The view along with the ocean waves sounds were soothing. Sleeping was no problem, although bedroom is on parking lot side. I read everything which proved necessary, there... more is a to do list before leaving which includes stripping of bed sheets etc. I highly recommend Kona Reef F-26 perfect setting, near to Ali Drive sites, shops, restaurants, beaches and more. I must add communication from beginning was excellent and responses quick. less

— Patricia, Stayed 10/30/2019

Perfect!

Wonderful condo. Clean, with lots of details that make it convenient and pleasant. Thank you!

— Susan, Stayed 10/20/2019

Kona Reef

Pros: Great view, close to town, clean, good communication with the owners when we had a question. Cons: The unit backs up to the road so it was very noisy in the bedroom. We were there for garbage pickup morning also. The lights coming into... more the entrance are on all night and shine through the window. I would suggest black out curtains. Other than that it could use some upkeep and some redecorating. The view makes up for a lot and again the owners were very helpful. less

— Julie, Stayed 09/03/2019

Exactly what we needed.

Cute condo Nice view. Clean. Well stocked. Some beach gear for use.

— Jennifer, Stayed 07/24/2019

Very nice stay

we stay at the Kona Reef condo for 5 nights in July 2019: a couple + our adult son (19 years old). The condo was clean and as described in the web site. It is very near the Kona village, so you don't need the... more car to go there. We use the pool and the bbq site, all was perfectly maintain and never too crowd. We take our coffee on the lanai each morning and watch the surfer in front of the resort. The communication with Vance and Bethyl is perfect and quick at any time. I would recommend this place without hesitation. The only little problem we had is with the sofa-bed... could be ok for children or a very light person. My adult son cannot sleep on it (he is of average size) and as I'm lighter I use it to sleep. BUT otherwise, all was very perfect... I would not hesitate to rent it again (but for two!). Thanks you Vance and Bethyl. From : sophie and Frank less

— Frank, Stayed 07/24/2019

Nice condo

The condo was in a great location and nice, except for needing better AC (which the owners said is being replaced after our visit). Nice ocean views, great pool area, and a comfortable bed. Owners were very helpful and nice.

— Sharron, Stayed 07/01/2019

Fantastic!

My boyfriend and I came for a much needed RR trip. This condo was fantastic! The entire condo was comfortable and the location was amazing. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions and also left a welcome pineapple that was delicious. A... more very quick walk to all the restaurants and bars. If flying in stop by the Costco, Walmart or Safeway for groceries on your way to the condo and do not forget to buy your own coffee/tea. Sitting outside in the morning and watching the surfers was so relaxing. If we come back to the big island we would stay here again. Mahalo! less

— Erin, Stayed 05/20/2019

Kona Reef is a great resort complex, our fifth visit.

F26 has a prime location in the only building that has complete elevator service. We enjoyed getting to know the Shepperson’s, the owners, as they resolved some issues with the unit. They were very responsive. Since the units are individually owned, each owner manages the... more renovation schedule of their unit. Some have been completely redone and some need more work. Our big complaint is with the Aloha booking site. We found them to be very difficult to deal and will avoid working with them in the future. The most ridiculous part of their contract makes it impossible to get a refund if you need to cancel a reservation, the renter gets “credit” on another Aloha-managed unit within 12 months! less

— Peter, Stayed 5/6/2019

Great oceanview - Fab amenities- oceanfront pool

After 30 years of traveling to Kona this is one of the nicest condos we’ve stayed in. Great location, oceanfront amenities, full Oceanview, nicely furnished, big tv, comfortable bed, lots of fans, air conditioning, and ocean breeze. Super convenient coded lock.

— Julianne, Stayed 04/14/2019

Condo F-26, Kona Reef

We enjoyed our six days staying at this beautiful, convenient, and clean condo. Appreciate the beach chairs and umbrella. Walking distant to farmer market and restaurants.

— Dan, Stayed 02/13/2019

Great location and amazing views

This condo was perfect for our family vacation. The views of the ocean were unreal, and watching the sunset from the lanai was amazing (and the fan out there made it so pleasant even at the hottest time of day). The location right next to... more Honl’s beach was perfect, our son was thrilled to be able to walk right over to the beach anytime to play in the sand and waves. We even saw turtles there twice! And having the pool right on site was great for when we wanted water time away from the sand. The furniture and beds (including the sofa bed) were very comfortable, then kitchen was well appointed and the entire place was lovely and homey. Having the beach supplies like towels, an umbrella and chairs was such a nice touch. And having a washer/dryer in the unit was a fantastic bonus. The location just can’t be beat. An easy walk into Kona (even for our 5 year old) meant we didn’t need to use our car often, and there are so many fantastic shops and delicious places to eat nearby. This place is a gem and we can’t wait to stay here again! less

— Jason, Stayed 02/08/2019

Great Location and facility

We enjoyed 3 great weeks on the Big Island and staying in Condo F-26 was the perfect location to be at. Close to downtown and the Farmers Market while off the main drag for peace and quiet. The unit was well maintained and has everything... more you need. Being on the end and at the top gave you plenty of light and a refreshing breeze so that air conditioning was not needed much. The grounds are well maintained and a great view of the bay and activities that go on throughout the day. We will be back in the future. Thanks Vance and Bethyl less

— Steven J, Stayed 12/10/2018

Amazing

This condo is absolutely amazing. The view was phenomenal a straight shot of the ocean close enough to feel the breeze coming in. It was stock with everything we needed down to snorkeling gear and towels for the beach. I would highly recommend it. How... more ever at the time of my stay there was some construction going on, but it was a terribly big deal. less

— Jacob, Stayed 11/17/2018

Wonderful condo, view and owners.

A very nice condo fully stocked with toys and kitchen tools. Wonderful views from all of the rooms and lanai. Great cross breeze and excellent AC system. Very clean and organized. Owners were very attentive and relational. Excellent value! Kona Reef we feel is the... more absolute best location and we would definately stay at this condo again, if we're hadn't just bought one ourselves. less

— Theresa, Stayed 09/09/2018

Beautiful view of sunsets over the Pacific Ocean in a comfortable, breezy condo.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay in your beach home! We had such a great time at the beach and the pool with our two little ones! Your view here is amazing from the lanai with the ocean and the sunset. We couldn’t... more have asked for a better view! We loved seeing all the boats and helicopters flying by. We particularly enjoyed easing on the lanai, swimming in the pool, and walking right out to the ocean for some wadding. We had a wonderful time here on our first big vacation with the kids! Thank you again! The owners were very welcoming, accommodating, and responsive. We would love to stay at this property again in the future. less

— M & Z, Stayed 6/26/2018

Our stay was amazing

Thank you for the stay in your condo. My friend and I came on this trip to allow to take a step back from working over 80 hours a week. Waking up to coffee on the balcony was exactly what I needed. I have been... more to the Big Island six times over the past 3 years and this stay was even better than the others! I hope to bring my family back for the Holidays to create some more amazing memories. Everything was perfect at our condo. Thanks again for everything. less

— S. N., Stayed 01/05/2018

Great beach house!

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay in your beach home. This house is wonderful. We had been comfortable, enjoyable, and great time. We will visit again, Kona and your beach home.
